Chopstick WorkshopWe really enjoyed the chopstick workshop. Sai and Angelia were wonderful hosts — friendly, fun, and full of great stories about the area. We laughed a lot and felt very well taken care of throughout the experience. Our finished chopsticks turned out beautiful, and we left with great memories.

A great memoryThank you, Angelia and Rocky, for this unforgettable morning. A warm welcome and great advice. Incredible experience; we return to France with a beautiful memory. Thank you very much.
Great experience.Great for more personal souvenirs; they take plenty of time to explain and show everything in English and assist when needed. They also take time for a small exchange. Overall, a great workshop; I would absolutely recommend it.
Chopstick studio was amazingI had an amazing time at the chopstick studio. I was very nervous because I’ve never done anything like this before, the staff Riko was so friendly and explained everything so well. I felt so relaxed and really enjoyed my time. Riko's English was really good and I hope to come again with my friends.
